Thank you for your efforts and the delicious pix. I had just seen the other three when suddenly these appeared and grabbed my attention!
Wow that was amazingly fast Vet, may I call you Vet for short. Thanks for the kind and sensational compliment on my pics. Isnt that glass beaded strawberry just JUMPING off the screen. I was amazed myself. lol.
Terrific! Love it all and the strawberries are perfect.
I visit some elderly people that own antique/this & that stores. They had em stowed in this crappy plastic basket for sale for $3. I wasnt interested in the junky insignificant basket but I knew I had to get the strawberrys stored in it. Long story short. I asked If I could purchase just the berrys without the plastic holder and she said, you can have those old berrys for FREE! I almost fell over! I thought they were beautiful and deserved a nice home, so here they are! I think they are called "glass beaded" strawberrys. She gave me 15 of them like they were worthless. I think they are Elegant and perfect for my collection. Im glad you liked them too. Im sure you will see them posted to my collection by themselves soon. Getting great feedback from them already. Makes me very happy!
Thank you, keep watching! As I get the hang of this site I will post ALOT more. Let me know what you think. I thought they were perfect too! Totally cant find this kinda stuff anymore. Love the vintage years. I was born too late. I missed my era. lol
Im sure we arent alone either! Glass is an intimate encounter on all sorts of level. For me it brings all sorts of emotions. Especially love and happiness. Glad I could share with you...Thanks for the laughter. lol haha heehee
I don't think "newbie" now if you were at all, and thank you for the "PRO" complement but I don't think so ,I'm fairly new at this too!.. these photos are wonderful and the strawberries have come up splendid, certainly look good enough to eat, they look like they are bursting!!! with flavour..lol certainly stand out in that wonderful collection opalescent glass...love it! great job look forward to seeing more!..:-)
